prize won, you agree to release EA and its Agents, officers, directors, and
employees (the “Released Parties”) from any legal claims, including without
limitation claims related to personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of
property arising out of participation in the Promotion, or receipt, use, or
misuse of any prize, except for residents of the United Kingdom and France with
respect to claims resulting from death or personal injury arising from EA’s
negligence and for residents of the United Kingdom with respect to claims
resulting from the tort of deceit or any other liabilities that may not be

and gross negligence. In case of slight negligence, however, EA is only liable
for the breach of essential contractual obligations, such as delay or
impossibility of performance, for which EA can be held responsible. The
liability in the event of breach of such an essential contractual obligation is
limited to the typical contractual damage, whose occurrence could be expected
by EA upon conclusion of the contract based on the circumstances known at that
time. “Essential contractual obligations” are those obligations whose
fulfillment is essential to enable the proper implementation of the contract,
and the achievement of its purpose and whose observation you as an end consumer
may rely upon. The foregoing limitations of liability shall not apply in the
case of explicit guarantees by EA, in case of malice and injuries to life, body
or health, as well as in the case of mandatory statutory regulations. Nothing in these Official Rules shall deprive
you of the consumer protection rights granted to you by the laws of your
residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement.

of your Entry, personal name, user/screen name, social media handle, gamertag,

for promotional purposes. EA (or its
Agent) has the option, but not the obligation, to use your Entry Data in any

of them may not apply to you.

error or any other problem impairs its proper operation. In that event, EA may
hold a random drawing from among all eligible Entries received up to the date
of suspension for any of the prizes offered. EA reserves the right to
disqualify any person it finds to be in violation of these Official Rules
(including tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest), or acting in an unsporting or disruptive manner. If you
attempt to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest, it
may be a violation of criminal and/or civil law, and EA reserves the right to
seek damages from you to the extent permitted by law. EA’s failure to enforce
any term in these Official Rules shall not be a waiver of that term.
11.
Limitation of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) inaccurate

or programming associated with the Contest; (2) technical failures, including
without limitation network malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections; (3)

programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes to
be available and/or claimed, EA reserves the right to award only the stated
number of prizes. Some jurisdictions
prohibit the limitations described above, so some or all of them may not apply to
you.
12. Disputes. Unless
you are a resident of a member-state of the European Economic Area, South
Korea, or Switzerland, all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or
relating to the Contest, including the marketing and promotion of the Contest
("Disputes"), shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in
the United States under the laws of the United States. The only Disputes not covered by this Section
are claims (i) regarding the infringement, protection or validity of your, EA's
or EA's licensors' trade secrets or copyright, trademark or patent rights; and
(ii) those brought in small claims court.
●
You and EA
shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 30 days
before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations commence upon receipt
of written notice from one person to the other ("Notice of Dispute").
The Notice of Dispute must: (a) include the full name and contact information
of the complaining party; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or
dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. EA will send its Notice
of Dispute to the contact information in your Entry, or other address you
provide for this purpose. You will send your Notice of Dispute to: Electronic
Arts Inc., 209 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City CA USA 94065, ATTENTION:
Legal Department.
●
If you and EA
cannot resolve a Dispute informally, you or EA may elect to have the Dispute
finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall
be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under
its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where appropriate, the AAA's
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your
arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by
the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The
arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by
phone or online. The arbitrator shall make a decision
in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons
if requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and
any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. You and EA may
litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration,
or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
●
YOU AND EA
AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED
CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator shall not consolidate
another person's claims with your claims and shall not preside over any type of
representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or
injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only
to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual
claim.
●
If you live
in the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location
convenient for you. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall
be initiated in the County of San Mateo, State of California, United States of
America, and you and EA agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that
court, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration,
or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
●
If the
arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against EA
and issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than EA's last
written settlement offer made before EA makes its final written submissions to
the arbitrator, then EA will: pay you 150% of your arbitration award, up to
$5,000 USD (or equivalent in your national currency) over and above your
arbitration award, and reimburse the arbitration fees that you paid to the AAA.
●
For residents
of Australia: The Contest is governed by the laws of the
United States, provided that you will not be deprived
of your statutory rights and legal protection as a consumer granted by the laws
of Australia. The court of jurisdiction
shall be your country of residence.
